Hard To Take

HARD TO TAKE He was sure that for most of his life he’d been a dangerous prescription, wrapped in caveats and warnings such as: don’t mix, ask your doctor, must be twelve years or older, take with whole milk or food or risk slow painful death…… For way too many years he was sure that his forehead projected disclosures and chilling disclaimers: not covered by insurance, might make you dizzy, don’t drive after taking or operate machines, use only for seven days but not if sunny, cold or wet…... His good second wife misunderstood this advice, had reached out to this man, actually sought his awkward presence, and with a joyful dyslexia misread the information that had saved others so much grief She began to take him each day, then every hour day and night with lots of veggies and tea and with reckless disregard for those annoying side effects and those dangerous irritations such as laughter, love and trust; she found a prescription that works – a testosterone therapy that might upset her stomach but almost always warms her heart!
